CFA Calls on FTC to Investigate AT&T, Comcast, and Cablevision for Deceptive Data Collection Practices

CFA TC

CFA has joined privacy and consumer rights groups in a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission against several cable operators for failure to adequately disclose the extent to which they are sharing and combining consumer information. The groups also contend that the cable operators’ use and sharing of subscriber data under an opt-out regime is in direct conflict with federal privacy rules and is therefore deceptive because consumers expect them to comply with the law.
